BTW I still haven't decided if I'm going to write that scoring program, does anyone have any reasonable ideas for a program/utility that you would like for GalCiv?

StBlasius,

Two thoughts on this.

First, with the website finally going, and the fact that I'm still not ready to dive back into full-time GalCiv, I'm thinking about working on a custom ship design or two. But, there's a lot of files involved; while I can slog my way through the artwork and the text files without real problems, I'm clueless on the rest of it, including putting together an installer so that the files don't have to be manually copied into the correct subdirectories. How about a Jedi Starfighter or Millennium Falcon patch for GalCiv? Defenders with lower upkeep that are actually capable against an attacking Dreadnought...we can do it...

Second, you might want to check out CDG's site at:
http://www.angelfire.com/theforce/jedi_republic/
They do some good work for the community and are always looking for help with mods and utilities.

BTW, found an image of the actual Saint Blasius crest on the web! Do you want it for your "mugshot" photo on the new website?

I know I love your app :D

Sorry, but I was too lazy to give you credit in my, somewhat lacking readme :( Forgive me please!! (:(

Hopefully people will just know, and Obi, if you post the files on our website, just update my readme's with a complement to Hawaii under "Created With"

:)

PS
Obi, you have them in your inbox, enjoy ;)

:) Don't worry about it. I'm not concerned with recognition, just that people are getting use out of it.

Thanks for the blurb, though! :)

Obi,

Very very nize... yezzz. :D I'm old school on this I guess, but I request permission to add a link to your website on the Pirate Lagoon. (No need to ask me the same. I apply this pet peeve strictly to myself. ;) )

Bakka,

Trust me, lightsabers are great for getting out of bar fights real fast. Enjoy!

Kit:

By all means! BTW, did you check out the "honorary Jedi" page? You should...

Dooku:

Thanks for the plug. Although I had a chuckle with the "blue happy face" lightsaber for your game alignment...

Side note - it's AWFULLY tough to find a "happy" looking mugshot of Dooku on the Web! Plenty of shots of him shooting lightning bolts and chopping off arms though.

Some changes to the Council I have made.. Seems it does, that Aadik has become inactive. Thus, deemed it nessesary I have, that he will be relieved temporarily of his duty. St Blasius, fill in for him you shall, until he returns.

What are you talking about? Can you see the future? Am I going to fall to the Dark Side? Master Yoda, you thoughts on all this?

Also, I started building a Star Wars based Event last night and I am hoping to finish it tonight. Can you guys send me an email([email protected]) so I can send you a copy? If you get a chance, look over it and let me know what you think and give some feedback (+/-). Thanks.

Wow! The website is really great! My background is in programming, but I'm stuck doing QA at work since I don't have any commercial experience. A custom installer isn't too hard, but the most I've done so far is just placing files into directories. If all it needs is to replace text and graphic files, then thats easy. If you need to append or modify existing files, then it will be more work. Plus an uninstall would be nice too :) I would be interested in working with you on this. Have you tried the Star Wars Mod to see what they have modified?

Sure you can put it up there. I can see how it looks and decide if I want to use it.

Just checking in to all my old friends in the Republic. Master Yoda, I'm about to win my first masso game. Been working on this for a while now. I've come close several times but it turned out the dark side was just toying with me. I've suffered several losses but I've learned a lot in the process.

Also, great job on the website. Truely worthy of the Great Jedi Order!

Fellow Jedi:

Wow, "finish" a website one day, 2 hours of updates the next...!

I see that a few changes to the site are in order. They'll be taken care of in a few hours. On a side note, I see that we have a new Jedi in the ranks. Welcome aboard, MythicalMino. And welcome back, Aadik!

StBlasius, MadMaz's SW mod replaces all of the existing ship designs, I believe, as part of the "complete conversion" theme. It would be nice to have any new ships created as a bonus installation so that people who don't have the SW mod installed can use them. This should be possible, as the original Bonus Pack gave us a few new designs that show up in the GalCiv subdirectories as separate files.

CariElf posted a ship utility on the Mods page back in the infancy of the Metaverse - I have downloaded it and will dig into it over the next couple of days to see what's going to be required. Stay tuned!

Dooku, Yoda had a few too many one night and started spouting off about "the future." Something about you swinging a red lightsaber and me glowing blue. Although we took notes just in case, it might have been just too much stale beer.

Master Yoda is always mindful of the future, as any Jedi should be. But his hidden beer stash is lying around somewhere. We just know it. Somehow, it is disguised from the GROSS beer detectors. :)

Funny, but Obi Wan and Master Yoda, I don't think that Jedi are supposed to let themselves go in 'that' way. I have finished the event if you could look at it. Are you guys in a chat anywhere?

Dooku,

Just finished the web updates and dropped you an email. Sorry if I missed your message earlier while slaving away - truly, a Jedi's work is never done...

The interest level around here is going up. Good times ahead!
